Marine microalgae are microscopic algae found in oceanic and coastal waters. These tiny organisms are important to marine ecosystems, serving as primary producers that convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and nutrients into organic matter through photosynthesis. Marine microalgae also play a significant role in carbon cycling, contributing to the carbon capture and storage, and thus affecting global carbon dynamics and climate regulation. Additionally, they are a valuable resource in biotechnology and industry, used in the production of biofuels, pharmaceuticals and functional foods due to their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and other bioactive compounds. Ongoing advancements in marine microalgae continue to expand, highlighting their potential in sustainable food sources, renewable energy and environmental fixing. This book will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of marine microalgae and related fields. Those with an interest in marine biology would find this book helpful.
